I brought the topic of people using Xenomai as non root user, the
point I was trying to make is that using /var/run/xenomai was not
much of an improvement compared to using /mnt/xenomai. I think I was
the one to bring FHS as well, so, that is two mistakes for me.

I do not think multi-user scenarios are that problematic either: who
has several untrusted users on the system using xenomai anyway? As
has been said multiple times already, xenomai has never been audited
for security, so, if you do not trust your users, you should not let
them run xenomai applications.
